[Q] CM7's Dial Pad

[nguyendqh]

Hey just a question here if someone could help me out.

Wanting to know if there's an option to turn on the "search contacts" option on the dial pad in CM7.

Anyone remember how with the stock rom you could press say...666 for m.o.m. and be able to press that when it came up to call?

It was basically a built in search option for the contacts. Be it corresponding numbers or corresponding letters.

Is this an option with CM7? Cause I really, really, really miss that option.
So much easier to search numbers by pressing letters than it is trying to remember numbers or scrolling contacts.

Anyone know about that? Thanks again for all the help guys!

You can't do that CM7 dialer. Get Go Contacts or dialer one from market. This dialpad has the search feature your looking for.

Awesome. Thanks. But which one of these do you recommend?
And how would I set it as the default dialer?

Try GO contacts, you'll probably stick with it. How make default? In the beginning whenever you try to launch contacts if there are several options you'll be asked which application you want to run (or complete action with)- plus the option to make your choice as default (you can always revert it from 'manage applications').

what will happen is, that after choosing the number in the method you wanted (either typing numbers or letters) and you'll press the dial button- it will use cm7 dialer anyway, but with the numbers you've asked for, which is fine anyway. As far as I know you can't change this.

Also when you answer incoming calls it's with cm7 dialer.

Don't know which launcher you're using, but consider also giving a try to GO launcher too, it's a pretty good one too.
